Английская Википедия:A Lightning Sketch
A Lightning Sketch (Шаблон:Lang-fr) was a series of four 1896 French short silent films directed by Georges Méliès and released by his Star Film Company.[1] Each film showed an artist—very probably Méliès himself—drawing a caricature of a notable political figure in less than a minute.[2]
Three similar films were also made at about the same time, in August 1896, by the Anglo-American filmmaker J. Stuart Blackton, as a series called Blackton Sketches; Blackton would later make another film in the same vein, The Enchanted Drawing (1900).[2] Méliès returned to sketching on film in his 1903 short The Untamable Whiskers, in which the process of drawing comic faces on a blackboard was undercranked so as to seem to occur with great speed.[3] Numerous political caricatures by Méliès, presumably similar to those made in the A Lightning Sketch films, survive in the collection of the Centre national du cinéma.[2]
All four films in the A Lightning Sketch series are currently presumed lost.[2]
